Chapter 301: Shiji Niangniang: You Dare Compare Your Beauty to Mine?

Chentang Pass.

A spatial rift was torn open, and the figure of Ao Bing was suddenly pushed out by a force.

"Aunt..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Ao Bing was stunned by the scene before him.

Before him were houses burned and collapsed by magma; all the wood had been scorched into charcoal. The air was still permeated with the smell of scorched flesh.

The once-fine Chentang Pass had already become a pile of ruins; not a single living commoner could be seen.

"Nezha!"

Ao Bing ran at full speed, wanting to go to the Li residence to take a look.

But when he reached the location of Li Fu, it was also a scene of devastation, burned into charred wood.

"Nezha..."

Ao Bing rushed into Li Fu, wanting to dig through the charcoal to search for any sign of Nezha, or the couple Li Jing and Lady Yin.

It was precisely at this moment that Mo Wan Nezha and Shashen Nezha arrived back together.

Arriving with them was Wuliang Xianweng, who had originally intended to stay at Yuxu Palace for repairs.

Originally, Tang An had become a variable in the Immortal Examination, and the catastrophe at Chentang Pass was not something reported to Yuxu Palace by two Barrier Beasts.

But in order to follow the plot and fool the Heavenly Dao, Tang An still sent two Barrier Beasts to Yuxu Palace to seek help.

Wuliang Xianweng, who had originally cleared himself of suspicion and was so angry he nearly exploded at Yuxu Palace, had to forcibly suppress his temper and rush to Chentang Pass to put on a show.

With a few words, he shifted the direction of the matter toward the Dragon Clan.

Moreover, the cooling magma burning Chentang Pass before their eyes clearly came from the Haidi Lianyue of the Dragon Clan.

Ao Bing did not know about this beforehand, so naturally, he had no way to defend himself.

The development of events was exactly as Wuliang Xianweng had hoped; it seemed there were no deviations.

Nezha spoke up: "You follow Master to the Dragon Clan and ask clearly."

"Leave the final trial to me."

Mo Wan Nezha said nothing and stepped onto the Wind Fire Wheels.

He looked at Ao Bing, "The Dragon Clan destroyed my Chentang Pass and killed my parents; I must seek justice."

"You go."

"Next time we meet, we shall be enemies, not friends; we cannot exist under the same sky!"

Mo Wan Nezha did not make a move against Ao Bing, but instead flew rapidly toward the East Sea Dragon Palace.

Nezha did not waste words either; he left this place and flew toward the third trial of the Immortal Examination, Kulu Shan.

As for Mo Wan Nezha, Taiyi Zhenren, and Wuliang Xianweng, they were about to enter the plot of Nezha causing a scene at the Dragon Palace, yet none of the four in Tang An's group participated.

Poor Wuliang Xianweng did not know he was being calculated at every turn, nor did he know that he was actually just a tool for Tang An to advance the plot.

Not long after he left, the scorched-earth appearance of Chentang Pass suddenly began to shake.

The Picture of Mountains and Rivers flew up, revealing the truest appearance of Chentang Pass.

The commoners were all there, the city towers had not collapsed, and there was not even a trace of a scorched smell.

Yang Jian appeared in mid-air and retracted the Picture of Mountains and Rivers.

"Lady Yin, Commander-in-Chief Li."

"It is safest for the two of you to remain at Chentang Pass; as for Nezha's side, I will explain it myself."

"Immortal," Lady Yin called out to stop Yang Jian, "Let us go."

"Only if we are alive can we hold back my son from committing errors."

"Seeing his situation just now, my husband and I truly cannot rest easy." Lady Yin felt heartache for her child and did not want him to be kept in the dark in such pain.

Li Jing also said, "Regarding the rights and wrongs of this matter, my wife and I can go to testify and point out the truth."

Yang Jian smiled and shook his head slightly, "Does Commander-in-Chief Li truly believe that right and wrong are important?"

Li Jing was full of righteousness, "Naturally, they are important!"

"If no one cares about right and wrong, if justice and evil are blurred and have no conclusion, then wouldn't this world be pathetic?"

"Yes, pathetic, lamentable." Yang Jian sighed; this Li Jing was indeed quite good.

He was so upright that he was even a bit naive.

"Very well, if you insist on coming with me, then go." Yang Jian did not continue to insist, because he could not stop a pair of qualified parents from holding onto the belief of saving their child.

Kulu Shan.

Shiji Niangniang was looking in a Mirror inside the mountain, unaware that demon soldiers were already pressing upon the border outside.

Of course, the one who brought the demon soldiers was not an immortal, but Tang An, this fresh little demon king.

"You all wait here, and wait for my command."

"Yes, Boss."

Tang An exchanged a glance with Nezha, and he took Tang An and flew into Kulu Shan.

"Copper Mirror, Copper Mirror, tell me, who is the most beautiful woman within a ten-mile radius?"

"It is you, my master."

"Oh hehehe~" Shiji giggled coyly, forming a comical sense of being both burly and delicate with her physique.

"Then who is the most beautiful woman within a hundred-mile radius?"

"It is you, my master."

"Then within a thousand miles?"

"It is you~" The Copper Mirror was clearly a bit impatient.

"Ten thousand miles?"

"It's you."

"What about the whole world?" Shiji also sensed the Mirror's perfunctoriness and was clearly no longer interested.

"Still you..."

Just as Shiji Niangniang was about to beat up the Mirror, Tang An walked in.

"When it comes to beating people up, I have more experience than you."

Tang An didn't care about Shiji Niangniang's reaction and sat directly beside her stone stool.

With her left hand, she snatched the Mirror, and with her right, she weighed the gold brick.

Shiji Niangniang was stunned; who were these two? How did they get in? What were they going to do?

"This is my mirror!"

"If you call it, does it dare to answer?"

"Why wouldn't it dare?" Shiji Niangniang snatched the Mirror away. "Mirror, mirror, tell me quickly who your master is."

"Hmm~" Tang An warned with her eyes, and Nezha also brandished the Fire-Tipped Spear.

The Mirror struggled internally again and again, then decisively chose Tang An.

"Her."

"Hmph!" Shiji Niangniang slammed the Mirror onto the stone table. "You bully, you coward, see if I don't..."

"Hey~" Tang An held Shiji Niangniang back.

I have to say, her body really is made of stone; it even felt a bit rough to the touch.

Moreover, Shiji Niangniang's strength was so great that one could swing from her arm as if it were a swing set.

If Shiji Niangniang were to fling her arm, she might turn into a shooting star and fly across the horizon.

Fortunately, fortunately Nezha was also there, and fortunately she had the Armillary Sash to help pull her back a bit.

"Shiji Niangniang, don't you always feel that it is perfunctory with you? Why don't we use her to compare and see who is better looking."

"If you win, I will give this gold brick to you."

"If you lose, you will do one thing according to my instructions. It won't be killing or arson, it won't harm your cultivation, and it certainly won't force you to do anything you don't want to do."

Shiji Niangniang didn't believe it. "Is there really such a good deal in the world?" No matter how she looked at this competition, she was bound to win.

It wasn't that she was conceited, but by her aesthetic standards, Tang An was small, not burly, and lacked her own strength, so naturally, she couldn't be more beautiful than her.

"What? The dignified Shiji Niangniang doesn't even dare to compete with a mortal like me to see who is better looking?"

"Heh, why would I fear you? Come."

Sparks flew from the eyes of the two, and the air was thick with the smell of battle.

The scene shifted.

The Mirror stood on the table, and Tang An and Shiji Niangniang sat together on either side.

"Mirror, mirror, tell us, which of us is the most beautiful woman in this mountain?"

The Mirror looked at Shiji Niangniang, who was showing off her arm muscles and radiating a sense of threat.

Then it looked at the seemingly delicate Tang An, and the man behind her whose killing intent was so thick it chilled the Mirror to its core.

"Her!" The Mirror chose Tang An without hesitation, its body twisting toward Tang An.

Shiji Niangniang was furious. "You coward!"

"I'll give you one more chance. You had better think clearly: which of us two is the most beautiful woman for a hundred miles around?" Shiji said, almost through gritted teeth, while threatening it face-to-face.
